I have three asus vg248qe montiors... I purchased two in 2014 and the third one about a week ago. I always assumed they had gsync because it said on the box when i bought it from microcenter that it did. Now I've been told that they actually dont have gsync and that its a $200 mod to do so..... help? How do i check and see if they have it?

They don't come with it. You have to pay extra for the GSync module. Be glad GSync is completely worthless on games that you would want to play on that monitor in the first place. Vsync implementation in DX11 is a terrible render queue method that introduces atrocious input lag, and GSync IS VSync when over your monitors refresh rate, so it's best left never turned on in games like CS:GO.

So Isn't it false advertising that they put gsync in the title and all across the box??? Guess ill be returning atleast the one... So why are these monitors so heavily praised then? Is there any reason to go with this one compared to another one?

Gsync is an add on mod that costs $200 and is no longer in production, but you might be able to find a kit on ebay or something. If you do decide to mod the monitor with a gsync kit it will void the monitors warranty.

It's compatible with GSync. You CAN use GSync with the monitor. You just have to buy the module. The monitors are so heavily praised because they have great color accuracy for a TN panel, have ridiculously fast refresh rates, and with the lightboost hack have zero motion blur. They're the smoothest and best monitors out there for quick motion gaming like CS:GO. They're not 1440p like the ROG Swift, but hey, they're only $250. I'm also not aware of other 144hz monitors that are significantly cheaper than this one. All of the 1080p 144hz monitors that use the panel in the Asus VG248QE are around $250, and the VG248QE supports the lightboost hack and has extremely good latency and response times for minimal input lag.

does it say gsync compatible/ready? The monitor also says 3D ready but you have to buy a seperate emitter and glasses :P

Lightboost hack? Enlighten please :P I guess thats why i figured it had gsync all this time and didnt notice is because of how smooth they are. Are there any other monitors that are 144hz and smoother with the same or less input lag?

No, there is nothing better. Check out blurbusters for info about the lightboost hack. Basically it uses the 3d backlight strobing feature for 2d gaming. This means the backlight is off when the pixels are in transition making for a completely blur-free experience.

The first two boxes just say gsync on them... kinda weird lol. Man guess it pays to read your monitor manual before a year later :/
